On October 14, Alibaba's Qwen Office released an e-commerce edition of its AI productivity tool and opened invite-only testing, letting merchants try it by switching to an "e-commerce operations" mode inside Qwen Office. The company positions it as an "independent third-party e-commerce agent" open to all platforms and merchants; it already connects to merchant tools including Shengyi Canmou, Youzan, Qianniu, Alimama Wanxiangtai, FastMoss and LinkFox, and offers four functions: a cross-platform operations dashboard, trend and selling-point analysis, batch generation of marketing assets, and cross-platform ROI optimization. Executives said about 20% of Qwen Office's paying users work in e-commerce and complete an average of 38 tasks a week, while merchant Liu Xianglong said the tool cut opening a new 3D-printed shoe store from roughly 30 days to 7 days at a cost of a few hundred yuan in tokens; those figures come from the vendor and a single merchant account and have not been independently verified.
